Myobrace® System
Early Preventive Orthodontics Solution for Children
The Myobrace® System is a preventive pre-orthodontic treatment that focuses on addressing the underlying causes of crooked teeth, often without the need for braces or extraction of teeth, empowering natural growth and development.
What is the Myobrace® System?
The Myobrace® System is a series of intraoral devices that are worn for one hour each day and overnight while sleeping. These appliances assist in correcting poor oral habits by expanding the arch and aligning the teeth and jaws.
Key Benefits
Treats the underlying causes of crooked teeth, often without the need for braces or extracting teeth.

How Does the Myobrace® System Work?
Waiting until all of your child’s permanent teeth have come in to begin treatment with braces can unfortunately lead to irreversible damage, affecting the teeth, jaws, airway, and overall health and development. The Myobrace® System teaches children to breath through their nose, rest their tongue correctly, swallow correctly, and guides the widening of the jaws to their proper size.
- Breathe through the nose
- Correct tongue resting position
- Swallow correctly
- Keep the lips together
Treatment in Stages
The Myobrace® System typically includes four stages of treatment: habit correction, arch development, dental alignment, and retention.
